About it The chief of police in the Kiev-controlled part of the former Donetsk region, Vyacheslav Abroskin, wrote on his Facebook page. Naturally, the Kiev official blamed the militias for the violations. However, it is important that he confirmed the very fact of the continuation of the shelling.
“Marinka. Yesterday (September 4), from 15:45, until today (September 5), 01:20, militants periodically increasingly shelled the city, using small arms and mortars, and closer to midnight - self-propelled guns. As a result of the shelling, 14 households were damaged in the area of Ordzhonikidze, Shevchenko, Sadovaya and Zelenaya streets. Three houses were destroyed and completely burned out from direct hits,” the report says.
Thus, Abroskin refuted the loud statement of President Petro Poroshenko.
Let us remember that before this Poroshenko made a loud statement that last week in Donbass was the first time that the Minsk agreements regarding the ceasefire were observed in the conflict zone.
During a visit to the Kyiv regional center for testing candidates for the positions of heads of local prosecutors' offices, Poroshenko said that there are no more shellings or clashes in Donbass.
“I have good news for you. Today is the first week when there is no shooting at the front. The first week when the Minsk agreements finally began to work. Yes, guys are still dying on tripwires, including ours, and there are wounded. They also die in road accidents, in a different way. But today they don’t die from clashes or shelling,” said the Ukrainian president.
Let us recall that earlier representatives of the DPR have repeatedly accused the Kyiv side of violating the ceasefire agreement and continuing shelling of the cities of the republic. For example, Today the Donetsk News Agency reported that that as a result of shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, a resident of Aleksandrovka was killed and two residents of Donetsk were wounded.
